About this opportunity

This federal grant opportunity from the Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs seeks proposals to design and implement four concurrent five-week Institutes under the Madeleine K. Albright Young Women Leaders Program focusing on civic engagement, economic empowerment, environmental issues, and public policy. Eligible applicants include U.S. higher education institutions and nonprofit organizations meeting 501(c)(3) requirements to host 20 undergraduate female students each at their institution for a four-week academic residency plus one-week study tour, totaling 80 participants. Proposals are due by May 6, 2024 and will be evaluated based on inclusion of program activities, a monitoring plan, and achievement of the objective of providing participants a deeper understanding of U.S. society and developing leadership skills.

The anticipated total award value is $4.2 million over a base year and two non-competitive continuation years, pending performance and availability of funds. The work is expected to be performed at the academic institutions and locations selected in proposals under the Academic Exchange Programs - Undergraduate Programs program (CFDA 19.009) overseen by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

Update #2 · Latest ·

The Study of the U.S. Branch (ECA/A/E/USS), Office of Academic Exchange Programs, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), invites proposal submissions from U.S. public and private academic and cultural institutions, exchange-of-persons, and other not-for-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) (see section C. Eligibility Information) for the design and implementation of four (4) Institutes for the Study of the U.S., Madeleine K. Albright Young Women Leaders Program (Albright Young Women Leaders Program). Four Institutes will take place over five weeks in summer 2025. Each Institute will focus on a theme that reflects U.S. foreign policy priorities. The themes selected for these Institutes are: Civic Engagement, Economic Empowerment, Environmental Issues, and Public Policy. See details in section A.3. Program Specific Guidelines, in the Notice of Funding Opportunity.


The Albright Young Women Leaders Program will provide multinational groups of undergraduate female students with a deeper understanding of U.S. society, culture, values, and institutions while simultaneously developing their leadership skills. Each Institute will be organized for a group of 20 foreign undergraduate women for a total of 80 participants in four concurrent Institutes. Institutes will be approximately five weeks in duration and will include an approximately four-week academic residency at a U.S. academic institution and an approximately one-week integrated study tour that will expose the foreign undergraduate students to a community (or multiple communities) representing a culture and/or region distinct from that of their academic residency. A convening event will bring participants together from all four Institutes for networking and exploration of program themes. Please see the full announcement for additional information.
